Microns are serious
In everyone's mind, what does Korean drama look like?
Is it crying and crying for love, or is it a daydream of the rich and handsome who are exclusively customized for women to fall in love with me?
City Hunter
Although in fact, not all girls love Korean dramas with love brains, such as me, I don't like bitter love dramas very much, and I would rather watch "Journey to the West" than watch silly white sweet love and talk about dozens of episodes.
The recent fire of "Pretty Sister Who Often Invites to Dinner", well I know straight men will not watch this...
But unfortunately, I don't know whether it is the guidance of the media or gender bias, there is always a large part of the people who think that Korean dramas are only watched by brainless women. The countless men around me who heard the sneers at the corners of the korean dramas were about to go up to the sky, let alone let them watch.
I was also influenced by this kind of public opinion for a while, and I, who did not watch Korean dramas much in the first place, have since stayed away. Until one day, I stumbled upon the play I want to recommend to you today.
Signal
The Signal, aka Signal. Of course, the name of the current solo broadcast platform Tencent Video is two together: "Signal Signal" (yes, the Korean kneeling lick of English is difficult to change. ）
After watching this play, I was truly freed from the shackles of my previous preconceived notions. I can say with dignity that I really like a Korean drama, and anyone who has doubts or disdain, I have confidence, they will definitely break the prejudice after watching this drama.
How good is this drama to see, since 2015 so far, can let me see at night at 4 am not willing to put down the mobile phone or computer, completely disregard the next day's ugly face, and finally the eyelids can not hold the automatic sleep of the TV series There are only two, one is "Langya List", the other is "Signal".
You know, I wasn't so crazy when I watched Sherlock.
Actually, there is nothing to say, that is... It's really good-looking.
Because "Signal" is a criminal suspense genre, my profile can't involve too many spoilers. To put it simply, "Signal" tells the story of two different time and space connected by an old-fashioned walkie-talkie, and the difference between the three protagonists is more than ten years ago.
The three protagonists are all criminal policemen, of whom Park Hae-young and Cha So-hyun are hyundai, and Lee Jae-han, the owner of the walkie-talkie, is the predecessor of Cha So-hyun, who disappeared more than a decade ago.
The three of them are inextricably linked, but they are connected by this old-fashioned walkie-talkie. The main line of "Signal" is the story of changing the fate of the long-term unsolved cases in different time and space with the information exchanged in the walkie-talkie, and even changing the past in different time and space.
The whole drama has a total of sixteen episodes, which is quite concise compared with the tome of more than fifty episodes on our side, but in just sixteen episodes, people have solved five cases completely, clearly and neatly.
The best thing about "Signal" is two things: the superb skill of the screenwriter and the boldness of the theme.
The first point, which is the most important thing I want to talk about: the skill of the screenwriter is really superb.
If we just talk about five cases in sixteen episodes, it is actually not worth our exaggeration. Speaking of bad, if you only solve the case, then our "Young Bao Qingtian", I think it is actually not bad, and it is still an old drama, which is more commendable.
Childhood memories... But in fact, "Less Package" is more conscientious than many domestic dramas now
However, the five cases of "Signal" are interlocked and connected to each other. There are hidden connections between each case, and there are inextricable connections between each character. The solution of one case is not the end of the matter, but often the beginning of the next case, and after seeing it, you find that the beginning and the end are not carried out in a single line, but in a circle that includes everyone.
The screenwriter is not stingy, nor does she play word games, she generously puts a lot of foreshadowing in front of you from the first episode, but you can't find it. It wasn't until you saw episode around the tenth episode that you could feel the key, and when you saw the last episode, you suddenly realized.
That's what I'm going to say: the film and television industry in our country is really too unfriendly to screenwriters.
Why can South Korea surpass us so much in the film and television industry? In such a small country and a few people, is it that they have more money than we do? If you want to say that Hollywood in the United States relies on special effects to dominate, I also believe that the development of the Korean film and television industry is inseparable from their emphasis on screenwriters.
Too many people don't realize how much a good screenwriter can make. I dare to say that the success of the drama "Signal" is of course inseparable from the hard work of the director and the efforts of the actors, but the main reason is because of the screenwriter's superb.
Screenwriter Shen Eun-hee. The success of "Signal" shows that female screenwriters can also fully control the theme of criminal investigation reasoning, and even perform better. (Sorry to find only this slag pixel)
The second point is the boldness of the subject matter.
Koreans are very dare to shoot, I believe everyone knows this.
To say that I am envious of this, I can only say that I am indeed envious of the Korean entertainment industry that does not have to dance in shackles and is not subject to any regulation. I do envy that. For example, the emergence of "The Melting Pot" at that time directly led to legal changes, which is where we have to learn.
The Melting Pot
But you're going to say that I envy The laws and institutions of South Korea... They do dare to shoot, but except for the very few cases of "The Melting Pot", most of the time you will find that they have no egg after shooting countless sensitive subjects... The attitude of the South Korean government has always been that you shoot you and I play mine, and it is quite strange to look at it this way...
Back to the point. Although Koreans dare to shoot, their boldness is mainly focused on movies. You will find that Korean dramas and Korean movies are still two worlds, and most Korean dramas still take the soap route, just talk about love.
However, the emergence of "Signal" broke everyone's cognition. This is not only the dare to shoot, the sensitivity of the topic involved in "Signal" has crossed the line more than many Korean films.
If you look up the information a little, you will find that in fact, the five cases in "Signal" have prototypes.
But of course, the screenwriter only borrowed the pattern, and the plot and character relationship are completely original. "Signal" involves a lot of official corruption, high-level state managers single-handedly cover the sky, officials and officials protect each other, so much so that I grew up under the great embrace of New China, I look scared.
Sun Hyun-joo plays a member of Parliament. Look at the eyes and you know it's the villain.
These plots are not simply for venting and satirizing anything, but are closely related to the truth of the case and the final outcome, as I said before, after watching the tenth episode or so, you will find that the characters in the play are all linked together, whether it is an official who covers the sky with one hand or an innocent victim, they can't get rid of this net.
In fact, there is a third point that I did not mention at the beginning, because it is purely my subjective feelings. I like "Signal", in addition to the excellent plot and bold innovation, there is another reason, that is, the love of the characters in the play.
This is a suspense drama with criminal investigation themes, which is destined to be completely opposite to everyone's imagination of Korean dramas. In fact, you don't even dare to believe that this is a Korean drama, the emotional line in it is pitiful, the only emotional line is the love of Li Caihan and Cha Xiuxian when they were young more than ten years ago, but it is also a one-line crush, nothing sticky.
Why do I say that I was finally touched by love?
Because there are many love in this world besides love. From a certain point of view, in this Korean drama with no emotional line, in fact, everyone is very affectionate.
Park Hae-young died unjustly for his brother for no reason, persistently chose to become a policeman, and has never given up for more than ten years; Lee Jae-han's crush girl died tragically at the hands of serial murderers, he wept bitterly and wept bitterly, and he never forgot for many years; Cha Xiuxian grew from a rookie to a shrewd and decisive group leader, but for more than ten years he persistently searched for Lee Jae-han's bones.
This section of watching tears once, too sadistic
None of them are earth-shattering love, but they are so affectionate that people can't bear to live up to them.
As it is said in "Dream Quest", as long as someone in this world remembers you, you are not dead.
I've always been easily moved by such affectionate and persistent fools, so that's the last reason I like Signal so much.
The last thing I want to say is that as a viewer, of course, we are entitled to criticize all the works presented to you, which is your right, but people should not be prejudiced against a certain genre by the inherent labels and external guidance.
Only by constantly learning the strengths of others and analyzing our own shortcomings can we obtain our own experience and thus make progress.
Now, let go of your prejudices and go to the show.
